You know I was first to advocate for the loan deal,

but in all fairness, he should press more as it makes us more vulnerable.
It is a problem with him. I've noticed with England too that the moment he replaces Gordon or someone like that we're immediately more vulnerable in transition.

He presses more than Lamine.

Raphinha will be back for next match and will be interesting to see us then.
No he doesn't even press more than Lamine, that's how bad it is.

Anyway... he still makes some silly mistakes - wooden leg first touch, bad dribble, simple fumble, bad finish from shit angle etc.
BUT, he makes up for it. He often gets past his player and creates danger, has had a great eye for the assist and bangs in a goal here and there. If he could only gel more with Balde, sometimes play it more simple, improve decision making sometime (when to dribble, when to shoot and when to pass etc), and improve first touch and overall in tight spaces. He's still does better than I expected him to, no brainer to buy him next summer if he continues like this.

He's terrible off the ball. Even when he tries to press, he has no clue about what to do. Just sucks at winning the ball or doing defensive work in general.

Warned people about this aspect of his game before he joined.

United coddled him for ages and turned him into a lazy guy with low work rate.
